Ethiopian Airlines re-launches flights to its neighbor after 20 years

Ethiopian Airlines launched flights to Asmara, neighboring Eritrea. The first flight was a VVIP flight led by H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed, Prime Minister of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia.

The airline company released a statement saying: "While we celebrate this beautiful day in history, we wish the best of sustainable peace, friendship and prosperity to both the Eritrean and Ethiopian peoples.

We are looking forward not only to connect Eritrea with Ethiopia but also to connect Eritrea with more than 114 international destinations in 5 continents with modern airplanes."
